I didn't like the upgraded of this binder. Over the past 5 years I have bought over 35 of these binders and loved Them. But last week I bought 2 and found there was a pocket on the inside with a button closure. I think the button will press into the papers causing a dent in the material inside. I returned them. I hate this binder has been changed . I love the old one. I went to a regular heavy duty binder. I also have about 100 of these in use. I would not recommend this binder.
I own a number of these and haven't found a better option. They can bear a lot of weight get knocked around a bit and hold up really well. Not only that they look much sleeker than any other option.
